The leaves are changing on the east coast too - noticed a few orange/red trees in our drive yesterday. AND ITS STILL SUMMER!!!!

Mother Nature must not have gotten the message that its still August.

I agree.
Also, in the fall, the bees and wasps fly around like they are a bit drunk. Bumping into things and trying to get into your home or into your car, and then not knowing what to do next. They fly low and slow.

Well today, saw the "drunk bees". And it is still only August.

Guess those Farmers know a thing or too

The ski hill operators are happy.
And those that have snow removal contracts are super happy.

Definitely pretty close for our area - we've had more frigid days which turned into weeks, than in ages - and it's not done. Usually we would get a period of three or four days of -30s and lower every two weeks or so, but now it's been those temps and colder for a week at a time, then a day or two off, then back to the deepfreeze. It's been very draining...
As for snow, I would say what we have is about average. Last year was definitely an anomaly, we had tons!

One of my son's friends started a snow clearing business as a second job - picked a great year for it, he's run off his feet.

I hope it is a HOT summer! I love the heat. Last summer I had to sit at the end of my dock with a sweater on, it was cold. I don't want a repeat of that again....

It's great you are thinking of summer. Those thoughts help right about now, when it's so icy in some places.
